Of his work, John Philip Davis writes, "As it relates to the viewer, my art is meant to provide all of the initial breadth of visual information, depth of compositional drama and the verisimilitude of style and environmental completeness to which the viewer can then extrapolate a personal meaning. The art is non-objective but has an agenda. The emotive is implied but perceived and exercised individually. A continuum, the point at which the work transforms after creation."
